No Mid way Sale.

The annual sale of young trotting stock
that has been advertised to take place at
Midway on the Sth day of June next has
been withdrawn. The cause of this is the
lack of young stock to put into the sale.
Commodore Kittson, George W. Sherwood
and Q. A. De Graft are the only persons in
terested in the project. Mr.. Sherwood has
sold so much of his stock of youngsters
that he had nothing at all to offer, and Mr..
De Graft has also sold great deal of his.
A few days ago Commodore Kittson was
out to Midway looking over his stock with
DIR. WoodmanSee, and was so well pleased
with the appearance of the youngsters that
he told Mr.. WOOdmanSee he did not care
about putting them into the sale; that if he
was to have his choice he would not sell
them, but that as the arrangement was
made he would not keep them out. When.
therefore, it was found that the other two
gentlemen had sold so much of their stock
1t was mutually agreed that the sale should
not take place, and it was accordingly
abandoned. This will cause good deal of
disappointment to many who were int end
ing to buy.

Epaulette has been losing his eyesight for
the last three months, and he is now almost
totally blind. Robert Steel his owner, has
consulted proper medical authority, and cam
not account for the affection, except through
probable hard usage before he passed into
his hands, although this does not incapacitate
him from doing stud duty. Mr.. Steel has
traced his ancestry back as far as possible
and cannot find one of them on either side so
afflicted, and consequently it should not
make any difference in his get, and it GER
tainly has not made any difference so far in
his engagements for the coming season, and
when we come to analyZe the fact We find
that the great Lexington was blind, and yet
his produce, with very few exceptions, had
as good eyesight as any class OF horses

organization of private cabinet of natural
history, which, a few years later, became the
nucleus of the museum of the Smithsonian
institution. He studied medicine, and at
tended a course of lectures at the College OF
physicians and Surgeons in New York in
1912, but never formally completed his
course, although he received the degree OF
M. D., HOnoris Causa, from the Philadelphia
Medical college in 1S4S. In 1915 he was
chosen professor of natural history in Dick
insOn college, and was subsequently elected
to the chair of natural history and chemistry
in the same institution. In 1850 he was made
assistant secretary of the Smithsonian insti
tutc; at the age of 81 entered upon his life
work in connection with that foundation
In 1871 he was appointed by President Grant
to the position of United States fish commits
soner, an ,unsalaried Office and in 1873, upor
the death of Professor Henry, he was, by tn,
unanimous vote of the regents, elected sec

Professor Baird received the degree OF
doctor of physical science from Dickinson
college and that of doctor of laws from
Columbian university. He received scvera
foreign decorations. He held honorary anc
corresponding memberships in many of the
most renowned scientific societies of the
world and active membership in most o

The study of the natural history subjects

The fish commission, as it at present exists
